i made these for my students. i think 5 of them off the first batch are already given to some of my 'good' students. usually the others will question my 'bias'ness as they said it. but i'll said:

"usually, the things that you can get easily; you'll take it for granted...that's why you must work harder..."

i always reflect what i say to my students (okay, maybe most of the time; not always)...sometimes almost simultaneously. so, talking about taking things for granted, i realized what i have been taking for granted all of my life. and that thought just crushes me. i dont wana continue doing it.

It feels great to be back on. It'll be a challenge to stay high-spirited like this. Dengan ilham yang dikurniakan-Nya, memang bersyukur dapat buat benda-benda yang membuatkan aku merasa 'hidup' kembali. I am totally blessed with everything that I have at the moment, and I will try my best to appreciate all of them.

Mean while; this is something that I draw for my mom since she's the best fan I have...hehehehe it's a drawing inspired by henna stains; I'm totally using it for my wedding one day..heheh

how to improve

Draw EVERYTHING you possibly can whenever you can. Also, learn anatomy and perspective. Style is not an excuse for shoddy fundamentals, so learn the rules before you break them. Also, the public library is your friend. Check out some books on drawing and never stop studying. Keep in mind that artistic prowess takes YEARS to develop and although talent helps, it is NOTHING without determination, practice, and hard work.Never give up."- Kevin Bolk, 2010
